I believe it was a successor to the CBM900 Unix machine. That project was scrapped and they had a ton of cases so the A1000 was shoe horned into it. If you look at a stock A1000, everything is kind of stuffed in there haphazardly.

This is incorrect.

The A1000 case is from the original Los Gatos team, the keyboard garage was their idea.

You're thinking A2000. The front panel design is similar between CBM900 and A2000, but it is not the same size and the drive bays are different.
